Maternal Death and Pregnancy-Related Morbidity Among Indigenous Women of Mexico and Central America
This ambitious sourcebook surveys both the traditional basis for and the present state of indigenous women’s reproductive health in Mexico and Central America. Noted practitioners, specialists, and researchers take an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the multiple barriers for access and care to indigenous women that had been complicated by longstanding gender inequities, poverty, stigmatization, lack of education, war, obstetrical violence, and differences in language and customs, all of which contribute to unnecessary maternal morbidity and mortality. Emphasis is placed on indigenous cultures and folkways—from traditional midwives and birth attendants to indigenous botanical medica...
Decolonizar los saberes mayas
En esta obra el lector encontrará las aportaciones de diversas disciplinas que analizan los saberes del pueblo maya, cuyas aportaciones desmitifican los discursos colonialistas que han puesto en riesgo los conocimientos y espacios territoriales, pero más allá de hablar de una opresión, se busca una comprensión hacia la cultura, su forma de vida y su cosmovisión, puestas en contraposición con los anteriores discursos institucionalizados que provienen de ideologías sociopolíticas y nacionalistas. De esta manera, las autoras y autores de esta obra nos presentan relatos que emanan de las voces del pueblo: los saberes mayas del K’aax, pasando por las prácticas autonómicas, constructivas, así como por la alimentación, el consumo y la salud, todo a través de la visión de niños, jóvenes, adultos y mujeres que comparten su propia visión del mundo, decolonizando así los saberes a través de diálogos que han quedado pendientes, de forma que se visibilizan otros modos de vida y visiones del futuro vigentes en la práctica cotidiana de los pueblos originarios.

Avec une touche d'équité et de genre
Au début des années 1980, Arlette Gautier et Marie-France Labrecque menaient leurs premières recherches au nord de l'Etat du Yutacan auprès des femmes autochtones mayas, la première sur des questions de santé reproductive, la deuxième s'intéressant davantage à l'intégration de ces femmes au marché du travail. Pendant les trente années suivantes, toutes deux ont approfondi leur intérêt pour ces dimensions complémentaires du développement économique et social, que ce soit au Mexique ou ailleurs dans le monde. Au milieu des années 2000, elles ont toutes deux décidé d'entreprendre des recherches qui feraient le suivi de celles qu'elles avaient menées auparavant, mais qui, grâce aux éclairages de l'approche féministe de l'intersectionnalité, donneraient un nouveau relief conceptuel et méthodologique à l'interprétation des changements sociaux que connaissent les populations autochtones de l'Etat du Yucatan, et les femmes en particulier.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
